We are reaching out to bring support to people living with dementia in some of the most remote areas of the Northumberland.
​Bernicia has helped the Glendale Gateway Trust establish the ‘Memory Lane’ group in Wooler’s Cheviot Centre with a £9,000 grant from their Community Investment Fund.

The group meets every fortnight, with music at the heart of sessions to help rekindle memories and slow cognitive decline. We identified a need for a group to tackle isolation for people living with dementia in Wooler and its surrounding Northumberland rural communities.
The group provides transport to help people and their carers attend the ‘Memory Lane’ group – ensuring they don’t have to travel further afield at their own cost to Alnwick or Berwick to seek support.
